(Penang, Malaysia) Hello, how far have you been in Penang, Malaysia?
This is the most famous
hiking course in Penang,
so we came here
It's very hot right now
It's really hot
But since we're here,
we should try to go up
Yes
Let's go
I'm not sure if you use this app,
called AllTrails,
Umm... Here,
it includes all the world-famous hiking courses
There are a lot in it
So if you follow the Penang Hill
Heritage Trail here,
then you can easily use the map..
to follow along and go
Also, if you have this on,
and go the wrong way,
it vibrates
It tells you, "You're going a little wrong"
It informs you like this
That's really good
Whenever we go hiking,
we always seem to use this
Yes, that's right
It's very convenient
Malaysian friends told us,
if you go up Penang Hill,
there are several paths
But the recommended one is
this Heritage Trail
Because this trail is a bit easier to find
And the good thing is,
there's a mid-station
So if we give up later,
we can take it from the middle
Yes, they said yesterday too
that it's there in the middle,
so don't worry
But we don't give up
It's only been 5 minutes since we started,
and I'm already so tired
AllTrails tells us how much... this hike is...
But it says
This is..
on the difficult side
Wow, I brought it out
This is definitely a bit steep at the start
Yes
(Entrance)
From here on,
according to my friend,
it's all just stairs
It's like a treadmill
Just stairs all the way
to the mid-station
But the good news is,
after you tackle all the stairs,
there's a nice, easy path
Okay
(Hope)
- Oh my god, sorry - Wh.. what?
- There's a wild chicken - Oh my..
(Warning: Can be shocked)
Oh, this is no joke, even more
No, really, look ahead everyone
We have to go to the middle station
They say it's been less than 5 minutes
- Ah - It's tough
(Despair)
(Endless stairs)
(More stairs)
Middle station
Ah, finally
The scenery is really beautiful
(Penang at a glance)
It doesn’t even feel like I started
from way down there
We've come up quite high
Really beautiful
(If it's hard, you can take the tram here)
So we've passed the midpoint
And after a 10-minute break
we're continuing, right?
Is it this way or that way?
Someone said after the middle station
the stairs would all be over
But there are still stairs
(Energy drain)
Now I don't even have the strength to talk
Just keep walking
(Mind completely blank)
It's even harder because we have to go again after taking a break
Oh, that can happen
That can happen
As far as we know
once we pass the first half
They said it would get a bit easier
Honestly, the second half isn't that easy either
Yeah, yeah
It's not completely flat
It did get a bit easier,
but it's still tough, to be honest
As expected, it's difficult here..
There's a reason for it
But it's fun
It's fun
(Proud)
I'll pull you, come here
(Mutual help)
Oh, the stairs are finally
starting to disappear
Oh.. we
finally encountered flat ground for the first time
We've arrived, everyone
We've arrived, we're there
Finally, after two hours,
here at the top now..
Many people took the train
- or tram to come up - Yeah
- So it's very crowded - Yes
(Snack time)
We ordered mango bingsu and..
lime soda
After hiking, really,
desserts are amazing
I don't usually like sweets,
but it was a bit tough in the morning
Isn't it tempting?
Right now, I'm really craving this mango
(Sugar recharge)
Completely mango
Delicious
(Satisfied)
Really delicious
(15-minute break)
When going down, we buy a ticket
and go down
(Ticket booth)
(Quite a long tram)
(Exit)
Up until now, in Penang, Malaysia,
how far have you been?
Bye-bye
(Water is essential)
(A hat is also good to have)
